ok sorry about asking 2 questions in 1 but I can not see the files I have downloaded as a thumbnail. can anyone help. I'm using vlc media player. should I switch? and is there any programs that will clean you temp folder, and cache and all that stuff other then sweeper. sweeper says everything is clean is like 0.2 seconds. it can not clean my whole computer that fast.

There's nothing to clean, it's not Windows.

What kind of files are you expecting thumbnails for? And as for the cleaner app, run as user it can only "clean" folders that th user can access. Root access would be required to run it over the whole PC.
